What a day! I woke up late, so I could not have my morning cardio. I thought my program was ready, but it still needs work. My meeting with my boss got interrupted about 3 times. But I got an answer.
I’ve been getting up earlier to exercise. This sets me up for a great day. But I slept in, and it all wentcrazy.
I was going to say my program was ready to roll at my normal meeting today. But just before, I was helping my coworker debug an issue, and showing off my program at the same time. And we found a few things needed to be added. So thats not bad, but its a mixed bag.
My meeting with my boss got cut short about 2 minutes into the conversation. He lost signal as he had to leave the office, bike home, and go to the doctors. The next conversation was started around 4 in the afternoon. And was cut short by his microphone glitching out. A while later, we finally got to talking.
Short answer, not yet. Basically the company is going through a rough patch, and can’t afford to do anything right now. It was explained to me in enough detail, so I assume that is actually the case. The amount I asked for is too much, and he said he will get me a pay range estimate in a week or so, so I will have an idea of what to expect when the finances are all smileys and flowers. I will probably try to keep informed on the company finances from now on. But I expect to try again in a matter of months.
So not exactly what I wanted to hear, but good enough. I got closure on the subject, and got to chit chat a bit. I will be selectively shopping around for jobs for a while. If I don’t get what I need in a year, I will start taking the job hunt more seriously. But for now, look for jobs I really want, and just keep on trucking.
